Good Afternoon Everyone.....

This was sold on our favorite auction site.....

A little much I think because you have to add GST to the total and postage.....

But it does show a named Toronto Welcome Home medal which are the only ones actually issued to the home comers, the un-named medals were sold to the public.....

Mike

Mike,

Thank you for this. I had not realised the unnamed medals were sold to the public.

Many thanks
David
